I was experimenting a bit with autovacuum now. To make the least effect
possible, I started with a too high cost_delay/cost_limit-ratio. The
effect of this was that autovacuum "never" finished the transactions it
started with, and this was actually causing the nightly vacuum to not do
it's job good enough.
